Infographic: SUPERMAN's 75th Anniversary 1938-2013 Timeline

On April 18, 1938, DC Comics (then National Allied Productions) debuted a new anthology title Action Comics, with the lead-cover story featuring a new superhero character called Superman. The rest, as they say, is history.

This year, on the 75th anniversary of that date, we look at Superman's history in a special Newsarama infographic, from the Golden Age of the 1930s comics, to the TV show "Adventures of Superman" in the 1950s, through more than four Superman movies and up to the New 52.
